I have no Unicode younger than from 2019 (unfortunately that all drowned, for some time to come), but this "es-zed" never had anything to do with german as far as i know. "eszett" is shall be. (I am also still struggling with my american family member who said fourty years ago "bensin" for gasoline where Benzin it should have been it, but likely, if you come from Pennsylvania, with *that* price for that shit, a mild and forgiving tone comes naturally maybe, as opposed to TTZZETTT (not "sieh sieh topp" aka ZZ TOP, but PULL!-PULL!). But all that off-topic, and whereas i am a hundred percent German, other languages like Francaise and Italian are usually nicer to listen to. (Having said that a master *can* make German a beautiful and smooth language. Yet so few of those exist. But that is not a problem of Germany alone.) Other than that i do not even like emojis.
